Constitutional Law for Criminal Justice, 16th Edition, offers
criminal justice professionals the training they need to recognize
the constitutional principles that apply to their daily work.
Kanovitz and revision authors Jefferson Ingram and Christopher
Devine provide a comprehensive, well-organized, and up-to-date
analysis of constitutional issues that affect the US justice
system. Chapter 1 summarizes the organization and content of the
Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the Fourteenth Amendment. The
next eight chapters cover the constitutional principles that
regulate investigatory detentions, traffic stops, arrests, use of
force, search and seizure, technologically assisted surveillance,
the Wiretap Act, interrogations and confessions,
self-incrimination, witness identification procedures, the right to
counsel, procedural safeguards during criminal trials, First
Amendment issues relevant to law enforcement, and capital
punishment. The final chapter covers the constitutional rights of
criminal justice professionals in the workplace, their protection
under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, and their accountability
under 42 U.S.C. ยง 1983 for violating the constitutional rights of
others. Part II contains abstracts of key judicial decisions
exemplifying how the doctrines covered in earlier chapters are
being applied by the courts. The combination of text and cases
creates flexibility in structuring class time. This book makes

justice education. The chapters begin with an outline and end with
a summary. Key Terms and Concepts are defined in the Glossary.
